Tips

culture

Standard transliteration of biblical 'Lazarus': 拉 (lā) + 扎 (zhā) + 鲁 (lǔ) + 斯 (sī). The 'Lazarus effect' (拉扎鲁斯效应) - coming back from apparent death - is a phrase that crosses into Chinese tech/business writing. Sister phrase 拉撒路 is the older Catholic transliteration of the same name.
